Aloe vera is a controversial ingredient when used medicinally or in beauty products. There are many contradictory studies that prove and disprove the healing effects of aloe vera on skin. Although there is controversy surrounding this plant, there are many uses for it, making it a very versatile plant.
The controversy over aloe vera arises when lauding its benifits in skin care products and medicine. Companies have used aloe vera as marketing speak to make people buy their products. It’s almost the same as saying your sports drink contains “electrolytes,” like in the fictional drink, Brawndo, from the film Idiocracy.
But what exactly does aloe vera claim to do? Many companies claim that aloe vera will speed up healing, soothes wounds, and helps moisturize dry skin. Aloe vera is also used in drinks, which claim to help with digestive issues like heartburn and constipation.
Aloe vera can also be consumed, although not raw. Aloe vera gel is frequently used in desserts. Many bubble tea shops will substitute tapioca pearls with chunks of aloe vera gel. It has a slimy texture with a soft crunch when bitten into and is naturally sweet. You can also find the juice of the aloe vera plant in many Asian markets. It provides a cool, refreshing taste with chunks of aloe vera gel inside the drink.
While there is no conclusive evidence that aloe vera has medicinal properties, at least makes a very delicious snack!
